Susannah Nelson, principal of Sacred Heart, had this to say about the recipients, "Our two award recipients represent the qualities of a faith-filled member of Sacred Heart School with respect to both adults and students; they care for others with compassion and kindness; they dedicate their time to acts of service for the school and the greater community; in short, they embody the spirit of Sacred Heart School."

On a recent field trip to Chico to see a performance of the Chinese Acrobats, about 20 students from Jackson Heights State Preschool got to take in the sights at Chico State University while they were in town. They were excited about being able to see the college and many of the students remarked about all of the different professions that require a college degree, saying things like, "You know, you have to go to college to be a firefighter." "It's never too early to start talking to children about college and career," said State Preschool Project Director Michele Eggert. "We strive to help every child reach their full potential and building that dream means starting at an early age." State Preschool programs incorporate language and classroom decorations that support a college going culture, which helps to make planning for college and career an integral part of the learning and growing process for even the youngest students.
